The five artists include a sculptor, an artist/musician and an architect.

Each of the five, armed with five slides, will have five minutes to pitch their ideas to be a part of the fifth annual competition and exhibition created by social media entrepreneur Rick DeVos.

Specifically, each of the five is competing to place a work of public art on the Gillett Bridge, a pedestrian-only bridge across the Grand River, which has been the site of several notable ArtPrize projects in the past.

The five individuals or teams in the “Take it to the Bridge” project each of submitted plans to make specific use of the bridge bordered by Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and Ah-Nab-Awen Park on the west and DeVos Place convention center on the East.

Here are the proposals:

• Broc Blegen – “A Monument to Community,” a sculptural project using sandbags, the tool of utility and disaster relief, to delineate spaces of reflection and alter the movement of pedestrians.

• Perci Chester – “Squealies for Wheelies,” a laser-cut sculpture that embodies the freedom of a joyride in a colorful, abstract work in polychrome and stainless steel that portrays a woman at the wheel.

• Yousif Del Valle – Untitled, a winding path made of wooden crates that will slow foot traffic and provide viewers with a guessing game: what is inside of those boxes?

• Jennifer Newsome Carruthers and Thomas Benjamin Carruthers – “Dream the Combine,” a reflective installation by streaming a live-video projection of the water underneath the bridge and projecting the footage through five vertical, mirrored theaters and into the sky.

• Daniel Feinberg and Alexander Hanson – Untitled, a playful and dramatic site-specific installation with “a broken-down, early-90s Chevrolet Suburban SUV, blocking passage and covered with stairs that will allow viewers to think about different ways of crossing a bridge.

The contest format is modeled after the successful 5X5 Night Series in Grand Rapids, the forerunner of Start Garden. Social media entrepreneur Rick DeVos, founder of ArtPrize, is the organizing force behind all of these.

The Gillett Bridge has been the site of several ArtPrize entries in the past. “Rapid Smiles, by Lauren Ruth, of Hanover, N.H., hung toothy vinyl banners across the bridge in 2010.
